Stewardship

Our commitment

Investec Asset Management embraces the concept of active stewardship. The aim of our work is to preserve and grow the real purchasing power of the assets entrusted to us by our clients over the long term. In fulfilling this purpose we will assume a stewardship role, including the effective exercising of our clients’ ownership rights. We will monitor, evaluate, and if necessary, actively engage or withdraw investments with the aim of preserving or adding value to our clients’ portfolios.

Our objectives

Our primary objective is to ensure that we allocate our clients capital as efficiently as possible; to preserve and grow their wealth over the long term. We therefore take an active and transparent approach to stewardship including engagement with the investments in our portfolios. We believe this benefits our clients and improve the broader environmental and social context in which we invest.

ESG integration

We have a dedicated global ESG (environmental, social and governance) team, which is steered by a senior Investment Governance Committee. Together with all the investment teams, the ESG team focuses on integration strategies, ESG research and engagement efforts.
